Must be quite a shock to see this vulgar return of overt white racism

[Ocelot II]

61. Living in a blue bubble as I do, it's always a bit shocking to see or read about

the hard-core, in your face Jim Crow-type racism in some places where people freely use "n****r" and openly rejoice in the legal deprivation of the voting power of Black people. That's not to say there are no racists here; there are. But it's more subtle, which actually can make it harder to eradicate because people don't like to admit it exists here. Nevertheless, saying "n*****r" in most places would definitely result in blowback - we can't even spell it, let alone say it - and most racists in these parts are at least a bit circumspect about their racism.
